The Role of Nurses in Medical Missions


Nurses and other members of the healthcare team get to care for the physical, spiritual, and emotional needs of people regardless of their culture, worldview, socioeconomic status, language, or ability. Come find out what your role might look like to be the hands and feet of Jesus as a co-laborer in His kingdom work. Listen to stories of ways to love others, serve the Lord, and come alongside the hurting, broken, hopeless, and the lost in medical missions.
